I'm with Koushik, the colored is very beautiful, has some mistery, and very nicely composed.

the color for sure... marvelously captured and presented!

Especially very good and interesting composition and colors.. Well done.. Regards.. 

Both, this one and the B&W one!

Reflection is awesome. Nice tonal and the softness of the composition. Fantastic as always.
All the best. Warm Regards.

I prefer color version...it has very great atmosphere of "waiting"....Love the light, too!

Regards!

Put me down on the side favouring the colour version.  You've captured the reflections well and the cooler colour of the window covering provides some contrast to the warmer reflections, an element lost in the B&W version.  The person waiting is almost lost in the gloomy shadows.  I get more of a feeling of foreboding rather than of anticipation from this one.  (Kind of like when I was sent to the school Principal's office as a kid for some minor transgression)  Worth the effort you took anyway.  Best, LM.

Wonderful shot, Amalda...excellent reflection...beautiful colors and light...softness creates the drama in this picture...my best

Fantastic work! Warm regards, Ilkka

Well done, Amalda, great colors, have a nice day,  Mari

Super !

Very nice capture , beautiful light and colors , great work ................. Best regards.

My first thought was that this might have been a hospital lobby, which made it terrifying.  This way, it's just that long wait for your bed to be ready, which is a comforting thought.

Perfect! Here I prefer the colored version...

I like the color version, too.

I also prefer the colored version – it’s dramatic. It’s a brilliant composition of reflections and colors. An image with amazing shadow-effects. Regards.

In this case I prefer the color version - just more attractive...

I prefer the colored version my friend, the internal tones and the reflections are so unique and present the proper atmosphere of this place, you have well seen this sense and so well managed to expose it and give it the high quality composition to make it connect with the viewers.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

I too like the colored version better. The orange tones and turquoise blue of the desk in the distance, work beautifully together. The b&w version feels a bit dull to me somehow... There is much more atmosphere in color & the reflections seem to be better rendered as well, imo. Best regards, Marjolein

Dear friends, your feedback is highly appreciated. It enables me to learn from my mistakes.

Amalda - the b/w works for me. It gives a greater feel to the wait. You may like a picture that I shot along similar lines: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11715815

A truly artistic treatment for a mundane scene. Well done! (and I much prefer the color version)
